Year 1 – Team Kindness
Today with Mrs Booth Team Kindness explored different aspects of Christianity. They discussed similarities and differences of different religions. We spoke about Harvest Festival, sowed some seeds and made a scarecrow.
Team Kindness’ inspirational person is Nandi Bushell who is a famous 11 year old musician. She was born in South Africa and moved to England shortly afterwards with her family. Nandi was on the drums when the Foo Fighters performed on the 26th August 2021.
Team Kindness used the Now Press Play headphones to explore all about mental health, wellbeing and their feelings. They took part in a story in which a child received some disappointing news.

Team Kindness looked at how rhythm and beats can help chant rhymes. Once we could clap in beats of 4 and keep a rhythm we tried layering “Row, Row, Row your boat” with groups starting at different points. We then looked at a special African drum called a Djembe. We looked at how to play the drum properly and then used this to help keep a rhythm and beat to chant our song.
